So about a week before I did my latest all grain batch I also got my water filtration system serviced. I am on a private well and my filtration system consists of a salt conditioner and a separate iron remover. However, the service company left my filtration system on complete bypass when they...

So I brewed a pretty simple wheat beer: 4 lbs. Rahr White Wheat malt 4 lbs Rahr 2 row Pale 1 oz Willamette (60-min) 1 oz Cascade (15 min) However, I accidentally grabbed a packet of Wyeast 3278 belgian lambic blend (I'm positive it was out of place on the rack) instead of the Wyeast...

Two weeks ago I bottled a Barleywine AG from Northern Brewer: http://www.northernbrewer.com/brewing/recipe-kits/all-grain-kits/all-grain-ale-kits/barley-wine-all-grain-kit.html I just opened one to try it and she was a HUGE gusher. I couldnt immediately think of what went wrong, but then...

I have an all grain IPA kit I bought from norther brewer that's been sitting in the secondary for about 3 months. I just checked on it and there is some funky looking thin film with airbubbles on top of it. To be honest I did open this one up a few times and sampled it so an infection wouldn't...

Just cracked open a Lefse Blond Extract Kit from Northern Brewer: http://www.northernbrewer.com/brewing/review/product/list/id/3293/category/221/ I just had to share how awesome the beer came out. This will be a great spring / summer beer since it is lighter but certainly not lacking in...

Hi all, I originally posted this in extract brewing, but figured it made more sense to post here. I made a Bavarian Hefeweizen Extract from Northern Brewer yesterday and I think there might be an issue with the yeast. I direct pitched the dry yeast at 80 degrees F and the room temp is a...

American Pale Ale: being it my first, it was kinda rushed, but certainly drinkable! I was amazed by the head and carbonation. Primary for 10 days bottled for 16. I know this isn't a lot but to even get a drinkable beer with such little effort and time is nice. plus now i have a drinkable...

it's been 1 week since I bottled and I drank a sample just out of curiosity. I obviously knew it wasn't near done. carbonation naturally was pretty minimal but it did form a small head and there was some rising bubbles in the beer. It was cloudy but then again I didn't use a secondary and...

Hi all, Just finished bottling my first batch of home brew. It is an extract American Pale Ale done with a basic (no secondary) home brew setup I bought. It was in the primary for about 2 weeks before bottling and is pretty cloudy in the bottle. I was wondering how long I should keep it...

has been in the fermenter for 10 days now. I dont have a secondary. Is this thing ready to siphon to the bottling bucket and bottle? My OG was about 1.060. Also, I took a big wiff of the beer (not wort anymore, right?) and man is it overwhelming. It actually bought a tear to my eye. The gas...
